Description
Released in 2000 as part of the Invasion expansion, Collective Restraint (card number 49) stands as a definitive blue Enchantment in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Alan Rabinowitz, this card utilizes the Domain mechanic to impose a escalating tax on attacking creatures, forcing opponents to pay {X} for each creature they control, where X reflects the number of basic land types you dominate. As a Rare card with a mana cost of {3}{U}, it serves as a strategic tool for players seeking to control the board state without relying on direct removal. Collectors value this piece for its elegant design and its role in the Blue mana identity during the early 2000s era. The card's text box clearly delineates its rules interaction, making it a recognizable staple for those who appreciate tactical defense. Whether building a themed collection or studying the evolution of game mechanics, this card from the Invasion set offers a clear example of Wizards of the Coast's design philosophy at the turn of the millennium.
